A retrospective study of treatment, outcome, recurrence and concurrent diseases in 190 dogs with anal sacculitis
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Local treatment of the anal sacs ± systemic NSAID was the most common treatment, inducing clinical resolution in the majority of dogs. Cutaneous allergic disease was the most common concurrent diagnosis, with higher recurrence rate of AS compared to other diseases and occurring in higher prevalence than in the practice population. Further studies are needed to determine if management of cutaneous allergic disease would reduce the risk of AS.PMID:37731183 | DOI:10.1111/vde.13205
